This Italian metal band is now selling its own pasta

by Tyler Munro

Forget Christmas sweaters. Italian death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse might have just won the holiday season with the weirdest merch option yet—gourmet pasta.

Available online for some pretty hefty prices, the technically inclined five-piece is offering the perishable presents in four varieties: Penne Cinque Colori, Strangozzi Tricolore, Fusilli Tricolore and Spaghetti Tricolore.

But man, those prices. Not including shipping, which in North America will set you back €20, each pack of pasta will run you €28. We’ll do the math for you: that’s expensive, rounding out to about $70 Canadian depending on the exchange rate.

Is this Fleshgod Apastalypse worth it? Probably not. But if you’re still into it, grab the spaghetti; you’re getting twice as much for your money, 500g versus the 250g of the other varieties.
